First of all, if you didn’t watch the Isobel Cup Championship game on Sunday night, I’m sorry for your loss.
The Buffalo Beauts and the Boston Pride competed in the type of game that reminds you why hockey is so amazing. Strip away the struggles of a growing league, the harsh inequalities faced by the players, and the unfair and untrue claims that the women’s game will never be as good as the men’s game, and you’re left with sixty minutes of pure excitement. Both teams left it all on the ice at the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell, but it was Buffalo that lifted the cup after fighting until the final seconds for a 3-2 victory.
